The 2018 KI Food Safari

Oct 18, 2018

The popular KI Food Safari at Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island, led by South Australia’s favourite cook Maggie Beer, has wrapped for another year. The 2018 event was hosted by Chef Asher Blackford and included a special dinner created by The Lane Vineyard’s Executive Chef James Brinklow, served with wines from the acclaimed Adelaide Hills winery. Long lunches were also on the menu, including among the vineyards at Islander Estate, at Kate Sumner’s Kangaroo Island Source at Penneshaw, with Hannaford and Sachs at Lifetime Retreats on the island’s north coast and a long table lunch hosted by Maggie at Southern Ocean Lodge.

Island expeditions included visits to Island Beehive for pure Ligurian honey and the ground-breaking Aquaculture Skills Centre at Parndana School where senior students produce sustainable barramundi and herbs for supply to the lodge. There were oyster tastings at American River Oysters, and wild gin tastings at KI Spirits. To share in the fun or relive the moment, check out the Facebook album here.
